Digital infrastructure provider OpenAssets has partnered with Canton Network creator Digital Asset to bring additional tokenisation use cases to Canton.
OpenAssets’ turn-key digital asset infrastructure and operating system platform will be available to institutions on Canton, with the firm serving as an implementation partner for Digital Asset’s tokenisation engine, DA Registry.
The platform combines tokenised asset issuance, settlement, compliance, asset management, and distribution within a unified stack.
DA Registry adds issuance controls — including allowlists, blocklists, and transfer approvals connected to external Know Your Customer and anti-money laundering monitoring providers — for institutions on the OpenAssets venue.
According to the firms, only the parties involved can see transactions on Canton, and assets can utilise atomic settlement, collateral management, and cross-application lending across the network.
Commenting on the partnership, Gabor Gurbacs, chairman and CEO of OpenAssets, says: “Combining OpenAssets' institutional infrastructure and distribution with Digital Asset's technology and Canton's configurable privacy and atomic settlement capabilities creates a practical foundation for interoperable, compliant, and scalable capital markets.”
Digital Asset chief product officer Bernhard Elsner adds: “DA Registry has already enabled more than 30 issuers and tokenisation platforms to quickly and securely issue, manage, and monetise institutional-grade tokenised assets and cash on Canton.
“Adding OpenAssets' production-ready platform to Canton will build on that momentum and help bring even more issuers to the network.”
